evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect the future of
the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid
mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read
and understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the
confidentiality of the examinations conducted, Evaluation done and
several other aspects. Its’ leakage to public in any manner could lead to
derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future of
millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone,
publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may
invite action under various rules of the Board and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking
Scheme. It should not be done according to one’s own interpretation or
any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly adhered to
and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are
based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they
may be assessed for their correctness otherwise and due marks be
awarded to them. In competency-based questions, please try to
understand given answer and even if reply is not from marking scheme
but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks
should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the
complete answer. The students can have their own expression and if the
expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books
evaluated by each evaluator on the first day, to ensure that evaluation
has been carried out as per the instructions given in the Marking
Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after
delibration and discussion. The remaining answer books meant for
evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant
variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer
CROSS ‘X” be marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating
which gives an impression that answer is correct and no marks are
awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are
committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for
each part. Marks awarded for different parts of the question should then
be totaled up and written in the left-hand margin and encircled. This
may be followed strictly.
1
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may also be followed strictly.
9 If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question
deserving more marks should be retained and the other answer scored
out with a note “Extra Question”.
10 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should
be penalized only once.
11 A full scale of marks _____70_____(example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks
as given in Question Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to
award full marks if the answer deserves it.
12 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working
hours i.e., 8 hours every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in
main subjects and 25 answer books per day in other subjects (Details are
given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the reduced syllabus and
number of questions in question paper.
13 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors
committed by the Examiner in the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totaling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to
the title page.
● Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
● Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that
the right tick mark is correctly and clearly indicated. It should
merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but
no marks awarded.
14 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally
incorrect, it should be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.
15 Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or
totaling error detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all
the personnel engaged in the evaluation work as also of the Board.
Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again
reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
16 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in
the “Guidelines for Spot Evaluation” before starting the actual
evaluation.
17 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated,
marks carried over to the title page, correctly totaled and written in
figures and words.
18 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on
request on payment of the prescribed processing fee. All
Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are once again
reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as
per value points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

For Visually Impaired Candidates Only
Dharavi
There is only one main road that traverses Dharavi,
which has been reduced to less than half of that for
most of its length. Some of the side alleys and lanes
are so narrow that not even a bicycle can pass. The
whole neighbourhood consists of temporary
buildings, two or three storeyed high with rusty iron
stairways to the upper part, where a single room is
rented by a whole family, sometimes accommodating
10 12 people; it is a kind of tropical version of the
industrial dwelling of Victorian London’s East End.
But Dharavi is a keeper of more sombre secrets than
the revulsion it inspires in the rich; a revulsion,
moreover, that is, in direct proportion to the role it
serves in the creation of the wealth of Bombay. In
this place of shadowless, treeless sunlight,
uncollected garbage, stagnant pools of foul water,
where the only creatures are the shining black crows
and long grey rats, some of the of the most beautiful,
valuable and useful articles in India are made. From
Dharavi come delicate ceramics and pottery,
exquisite embroidery and zari work, sophisticated
leather goods, high-fashion garments, finely-

wrought metalwork, delicate jewellery settings,
wood carvings and furniture that would find its way
into the houses, both in India and abroad
